My new book "Death of a Drama Queen" is not a mystery! It falls into the category of self help/inspirational.
First-time author Jo Latino’s poignant storytelling will surely inspire, as you sense her relentless passion to unravel life’s complex relationships. Her honesty will challenge you. Her courage will strengthen you. Her humor will warm you as you turn the pages and witness her compelling transformation.
You can find the intro to my book listed under one of my blogs.

I was so excited to see the following review on a website in Ireland about my book I just had to share it with all of you :)
******Honest writing, heartwrenching at times
Mrs. Latino pulled at my heartstrings describing her emotional rollercoaster with her life. I too have felt out of control and tried to get away from the craziness of my relationships. The book was great, an easy read and honest. I have already put my copy in my beach bag to take with me this summer on all of my trips.*****

Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life... a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year - and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God. ~Ray Stannard Baker (David Grayson)
O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness. ~William Shakespeare
Freedom & Liberty........ "Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." "Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." "James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
Philosophy, tradition, or being worldly & politically correct will not gain anyone the freedom and liberty that our Lord Jesus Christ made available to us. But when we we love our neighbor as our self, then we gain great freedom, as we in our own way serve each other as God has enabled us.
This Syrian village, Saidnaya, where houses are built around a rock with a very old convent at the top, is considered a place for religious pilgrimage.
A steep climb is the only way up to the convent, which is said to date back to the Emperor Justinian.
Legend has it that the Virgin Mary appeared to Justinian and asked him to found the convent.
After entering through a maze of passages, you finally reach the Chapel of the Virgin. The walls are covered with beautiful icons including one said to have been painted by St. Luke.
This chapel was very famous to Christians and at one point was the second Christian place of pilgrimage after Jerusalem, the crusaders called it "Notre Dame de Sardeneye".
